    A fun spot for creative cocktails and drinks. It can get crowded at times, so there may be a small queue at certain hours. The inside is very loud and the lighting is low. They have a very extensive menu with a wide variety of drinks. There are your usual drinks and some that are very unconventional (some include fish sauce, taco seasoning, etc.). There's definitely something for everyone on there and it's worth checking out if you want ti try something out of the ordinary .

    We didn't have a reservation and walked in. It took about 30 minutes to get seated, but the wait was definitely worth it. Salmon Guru is ranked one of the Top 50 bars in the world in 2024, and it absolutely lives up to the recognition. The decor is incredibly creative and immersive, with three themed rooms that each have their own distinct personality. The first room is Spanish-themed, the second has a fun superhero and comic book-inspired American theme, and the third is styled with Asian influences. Each space feels unique and thoughtfully designed. The cocktails were fantastic, not just in flavor, but also in presentation and names. Every drink felt like part of the experience. The overall vibe was lively and fun, with different genres of music playing throughout, adding even more character to the space. If you're into great drinks, imaginative decor, and a playful atmosphere, Salmon Guru is definitely worth checking out.

    What a beautiful cocktail bar in Madrid. I only knew about this place and came because a friend recommended it to me. It's romantically lit with lounge chairs, tables, and a bar. The staff were friendly and spoke English well to help me navigate their menu. For a cocktail, I got their Ultravioleta. It was a beautiful looking cocktail and tasted delicious. I also ordered some food and got the sea bass nigiri, oxtail takoyaki, and patatas bravas. They came tapas style and were all delicious. I especially enjoyed the sea bass nigiri with its wonderful sauce. All quite very tasty though! I also ended up getting another cocktail to try - the Sublime. Another very good and refreshing drink. I really enjoyed my experience here. The staff were great and so were the drinks and food. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cool cocktail bar!

    Walked in while walking in the area and we did not have to wait. We were taken to a booth area, closest to the back of the bar, and had plenty of room to spread out and chill out for a bit. As we walked in we were able to see what everyone else was ordering and that it was super busy inside. We were given the food and drink menu and was happy to see such a large variety and unique offerings. Everything is made to order here from drinks to food and well worth the wait. Music was banging and service was fast, fun, and friendly. Get your camera out because this spot is selfie picture worthy. With excellent service, a unique menu of drinks and food, and and overall cool neon and modern aesthetic I can see why this place is on a list of best bars in the world. It really is like no other spot I have been to.

    Really cool cocktail bar in a great location. We went on a Saturday night (early, probably around 10 pm). There was a short line then we were brought inside. They had some really interesting drinks on the menu. I got the tequila al pastor which is kind of like a margarita but it also has the taste of tacos. I enjoyed it. Definitely recommend coming here for a drink or two.

    This bar is hands down one of the best in Madrid, Spain. The drinks were to perfection as were the bartenders. Tapas and water were immediately brought over to us. Those bartenders really knew what they were doing. Mixing drinks were like an art to them. Ambiance was cool and the vibes were great! A definite must try place for people to try.

    We were very curious about Salmon Guru. We pulled up in the late afternoon and there wasn't a line but we had to wait about 15 minutes. The vibe is cool and the decor is crazy - so much to take in. I got the feeling this is a place to have a few inventive cocktails and then you go elsewhere. It doesn't feel like a place you park yourself at for the night. The cocktails were extremely creative and tasty. My husband had their Negroni, it came chilled in a silver flask and it had the orange peel wrapped around the stem of the glass. He liked it. I had a crazy drink called the Kakigori. It was very yummy but felt over complicated and too small - I just wanted a big glass of the cocktail because it was sooooo good. It had Gin, Yuzu, Umeshu (Japanese Plum Liquor) and something else and it was sweet and savory and like nothing I have ever had. All in all Salmon Guru was fun and tasty.

    Such a fun vibe! So much personality in this small but exciting restaurant. Service was great and the food bites were tasty. It's a great place to grab a few drinks and tapas before dinner of late night. They literally have a book of speciality cocktails - a little confusing but the server helped us pick out the perfect flavors based on our preferences. The food, although small portions were very good - we liked the falafel and empanadas. Would go back!

    Came here earlier in the night so we were seated immediately. Fun decorations and atmosphere. Our server explained everything in English to us which was greatly appreciated. The food that we ordered (empanadas and tuna) was excellent and the drinks were unique and fun. We passed by here another day later in the night and there was a long line so definitely would recommend coming here earlier. A must go establishment in this area!

    Super fun spot with creative cocktails and a colorful, vibrant ambience. We really enjoyed the surreal decor and friendly service. Absolutely worth a visit in Madrid!

    It was fine, not my favorite. I'm not in a huge rush to come back. They have a good amount of drinks to flip through and a few appetizers. We got the dumplings, tuna, and shrimp. Honestly my favorite though was the chips they give when you order a drink. Service was fine, they were nice and not rude but just a little rough around the edges. There wasn't a wait to sit and it wasn't super busy yet it felt so rushed. The place itself is cute I liked the ambiance, but it's not a place I'm dying to go back to.

    Checking the world's 50 best bars list is always a must before heading to a new country. Madrid is home to Salmon Guru- located just off Sol in the center of the city! They don't take reservations and they fill up fast! We arrived just after opening at 6pm and the front section was already full. By 6:30pm, the entire place was full. Salmon Guru has an eclectic setting inspired by Japanese culture. The neon signs and Kanji on the ceiling match the unique flavor profile of the drinks. They have a lot of Asian inspired flavors but also get creative with other flavors as well. My husband had a twist on an old fashion that had a banana flavor. I'm not a whiskey lover but it was so good, I would've ordered it! I tried a fun drink that had a bit of a spicy kick to it from the cayenne pepper but came with two little juices in case you wanted more spice or less! We also got an order of the patatas bravas to go with our drinks. They were equally unique in design but tasty. Drinks here are standard by American cost but much higher than you'll find in Spain. It's worth the splurge for a taste!

    I think this place was definitely worth the hype and the wait!!!! We went on a Saturday night and had to wait in line. Once in we were seated at a high top table and the lights, decor and music immediately drew me in. I loved all of it. Expansive drink menu that breaks down each individual drink (which was very interesting). We didn't try any of the food. Service was fast especially for it being so packed. We didn't feel rushed and were able to take our time and enjoy this top 50 bar in 2024! So glad we got to experience this spot on our trip!

It ended up being one of my favorite meals while I was in Madrid. We liked the menu so much we had a hard time narrowing down our choices so we got four (but three would have been a good portion size for us). The Taco Pekines was a duck taco on roti with cucumbers, radish, red onion, and hoisin sauce. This was one large taco that we cut in half. This was our favorite of the night! Our second favorite was the pork gyoza. It had a flavorful dipping sauce and excellent portion size. The other two were good as well. Vegetarian spring rolls and the chicken wings. Both with great portion sizes. They refilled our waters without us asking. I was surprised that they brought us water without us even asking. Another nice touch was the popcorn while we were looking over the menu. I can't forget to mention that we had cocktails that were great too.

Everyone must have been hung over from the night before. Or still sleeping. The die hard NYE revelers stay out until about 7 AM in this country. Not me. I can't hang. Overall, the cocktail menu has about 20 of the usual suspects: martini, strawberry daiquiri, mai tai, manhattan, sidecar, etc. No prices in the menu but expect to pay about 7,25 each. In other words, about half the price you'd pay at a cocktail bar in New York, so a major bargain for me. The sidecar was delicious, as was the whiskey sour. While not explicitly clear in the menu, this place will either create cocktails for you or let you create your own. Just ask. Desperately wanting paella across the street at La Barraca, the unoccupied waiter took the time to run across the street to check on availability, then again to make a reservation. Excellent customer service, though he was taken aback at my gesture of a small tip for his efforts, which he reluctantly accepted. Bottom line is there really aren't that many bars in Madrid dedicated specifically to cocktails, despite the size of the city. Consider this place a rarity. Other: Very classy decor. Cool music. Chill vibes. Free wifi zone. No food.

I tried the Sayonara Baby, No me llames muñeca, Taparrabos de Adan y Eva, Al Agua Patos, Love Potion, and Maracas de Machin. All of the drinks were delicious, refreshing and insanely cute.
